At night, Uchiha Fugaku's house was brightly lit, and servants were walking back and forth in the yard, busy preparing dishes.

In the reception room, Ye Shan was kneeling below Uchiha Fugaku. At the first seat sat a middle-aged man with a stern face. He was the patriarch of the contemporary Uchiha clan and Uchiha Fugaku's father - Uchiha Shinichi.

After the three of them took a few sips of the fragrant tea, Ye Shan bowed respectfully to Uchiha Shinichi and said, "Baiyun Ye Shan greets the clan leader."

Uchiha Shinichi of course knew that Ye Shan was often mentioned in the family recently. He responded calmly and asked, "Fugaku. What's the matter with calling me back?"

Uchiha Fugaku smiled mysteriously and whispered, "Father, Ye Shan made some interesting suggestions. I think they are feasible, so I am anxious to discuss them with you."

"Oh? What's your opinion? Tell me about it." Uchiha Shinichi became interested. As far as he knew, Yeshan was born a commoner ninja and his aptitude was not very good. If it weren't for his son's insistence, the Uchiha clan would not even extend an olive branch to him.

"Yashan, you tell me what's going on. I'll have a few sips of tea." Uchiha Fugaku wanted to let Yeshan perform in front of his father, so he said this.

"Yes!"

After Ye Shan agreed, he repeated the plan he had just mentioned in more detail.

Uchiha Shinichi's stern face was full of shock. He obviously didn't expect that a civilian ninja would have such a broad view. He couldn't help but look at Ye Shan with admiration, and his attitude became somewhat more intimate.

"But Ye Shan, how can Uchiha Ying's reputation as a people-friendly place be transformed into a political advantage?"

As the leader of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Shinichi's questions were very targeted, pointing directly to the core loophole in Yeshan's plan. Civilians are always civilians and do not have the ability to reverse the political situation, at least in Konoha Village.

Ye Shan, who was confident, did not answer Uchiha Shinichi's question, but asked: "May I ask, patriarch, what do you think of the position of Hokage?"

"The Hokage is the supreme ruler of the village and possesses absolute power." Uchiha Shinichi's answer was very official and could perhaps be included in the textbooks of ninja schools.

Ye Shan narrowed his eyes, looked at the tea leaves floating in the cup, and gently said something that shocked Uchiha Shinichi.

"In my opinion, the Hokage is just a tool to sign and stamp!"

The atmosphere in the living room cooled down. Ye Shan took a sip of tea leisurely, feeling the clarity that the slightly bitter tea brought to his brain. He then said, "The goal of the Uchiha clan has never been to become Hokage, and the same is true for what we are going to do next. The Hokage may not have the last name Uchiha, but the Konoha Village will have the last name Uchiha. This is my plan."

"The Hokage may not have the last name Uchiha, but the name of Konoha Village is Uchiha"

Uchiha Shinichi carefully considered Ye Shan's words, his eyes flashing, he straightened his back and said more politely: "I would like to hear more details."

"The plan I just mentioned is only the first step. Once you gain a reputation as someone who loves the people, everything will just begin."

"The power in the village is nothing more than four major groups, the Hokage, the Root Anbu, the civilian ninja group, and the family ninja group. The only power we can strive for at present is the civilian ninja group. Once you see this clearly, everything will be easy."

"First, win the hearts of the people and make the most numerous civilians in the village love the Uchiha clan from the bottom of their hearts. Then let the Uchiha jonin serve as the leader of the genin and initially establish a bond. After the bond is established, select qualified civilian ninjas, teach them ninjutsu, help them grow, and establish a benefactor relationship. Implement it step by step until the support of the new generation of civilian ninjas is completely won!"

Uchiha Shinichi frowned. It was not that he looked down on civilian ninjas, but although there were a large number of civilian ninjas, there were few with outstanding qualifications. For those with good qualifications, such as Minato Namikaze, the first choice must be Hokage instead of Uchiha.

Ye Shan naturally thought of this, and said calmly: "I suggest the establishment of a Ninjutsu Development and Reform Committee, with Uchiha Fugaku as the first president, with the purpose of conducting ninjutsu exchanges."

"The Uchiha's goal has never been to usurp the throne. There is no need for civilian ninjas to give explicit support. All that is needed is for them to choose silence at the critical moment. That's all."

Uchiha Shinichi's fingers tapped the tabletop intermittently, and he agreed with Ye Shan's plan. If the Uchiha clan wanted to have a say in the village, it was useless to rely on themselves. He knew that it was difficult to do it alone. But it was a very long process to win over the civilian ninja group, and it would cost a lot, which made him hesitate.

"Okay, let's follow the first step that Ye Shan said and start tomorrow." Uchiha Shinichi stood up and said to Uchiha Fugaku.

"As for the rest of the plan, we will decide after discussing it with the clan."

After saying that, Uchiha Shinichi led the way to the restaurant. He didn't talk about work at all, but talked to Yeshan about interesting stories in the ninja world. The three of them were in a good mood during the meal.

After a sumptuous dinner, Uchiha Shinichi went to the Grand Elder's residence to discuss things, while Yeshan and Uchiha Fugaku stayed in the living room to take a rest.

Uchiha Fugaku looked at his father's departing figure and said, "Your plan is bound to be rejected by the family."

Ye Shan nodded, said nothing, and drank his tea quietly.

It doesn't matter if he is rejected, Ye Shan has successfully proved his worth. In any group, only those who are valuable will be valued and enjoy sufficient resources.

"Fugaku, I'm sorry to bother you with my mother's matter."

"No way, this little thing is not worth mentioning."

Uchiha Fugaku thought for a moment and said, "Chinatsu, who used to live in your house, disappeared from the village half a year ago. Do you want me to use my connections to look for her?"

Ye Shan shook his head and said, "It's just a chance encounter. Let her be."

Originally, his relationship with Chinatsu was one of mutual benefit, and Ye Shan didn't care at all whether the other party was dead or alive.

"What are you planning to do next? Come to the Security Department and be my deputy." Uchiha Fugaku invited sincerely.

As expected, Ye Shan still rejected Uchiha Fugaku's invitation. It was not good for him, an outsider, to join the Uchiha Guard. Moreover, he wanted to spend more time with his mother and think about how to improve his strength.

Seeing that Ye Shan was unwilling to join the Security Department, Uchiha Fugaku did not force him. Ye Shan had brought him enough surprises, so this was not a big deal.

Next, the two discussed how to implement the first step of the plan. It was not until late at night that Ye Shan left the Uchiha clan territory.

The night at the end of March was a little cold. The moon hung lonely in the sky. Ye Shan returned home amid the calls of wild cats in heat.

The butterfly effect of the time traveler finally appeared in Konoha Village eighteen years later.
